With as much pressure as the wing put on the rim, he should have easily found his teammates for open three-point shots, but rarely considered passing.ĭespite his elite physicality and willingness to use his body in the paint, Whitmore rarely went to the free-throw line and was only an average shooter at the stripe.įor a projected go-to scorer at the next level, the potential top-five pick rarely had explosive scoring outings, breaking the 20-point barrier only three times during his college career (again this may be due to Villanova’s mediocre offense). *Wasn’t a single game occurrence* /RnUoZho7Gi Man, I'm not even sure what to take from it (maybe absolutely nothing) BUT seemed like Cam Whitmore coaching staff was more verbally and non verbally frustrated with him throughout games than any prospect I have watched #Pistons #NBADraft While some of his assist numbers may be chalked up to Villanova’s less-than-fluid offense, Whitmore too often just put his head down and never looked for his teammates. Whitmore was a bizarrely poor passer as a freshman, recording just 19 assists to 42 turnovers, giving him one of the worst assist-to-turnover ratios in college basketball, especially among wings.

While there were clear lapses in effort during his freshman season at Villanova, Whitmore has the motor to become s strong defender when considering his length and athleticism.įew players in the lottery will benefit more from NBA spacing than Whitmore who will see wider lanes and the next level allowing him to better utilize his upper-echelon athleticism while having better screen setters to free him up.ĭue to his size and versatility, Whitmore could potentially play, and defend four positions in the NBA depending on the lineup around him. The Maryland native uses his athleticism and physicality on the defensive end to secure rebounds, grabbing a healthy 5.3 boards per game. Though he wasn’t a prolific three-point shooter, Whitmore knocked down at least one deep ball in 19 of his 26 appearances in college, showing it will likely be a part of his arsenal throughout his career. Not many teenagers have those physical tools and even fewer play w/ the force he does /7NX9Xg3E4w I enjoy seeing Cam Whitmore consistently put his imposing frame to use and play with physicality. Whitmore isn’t afraid to attack the paint where he finishes easily above the rim for highlight reel dunks, even in the halfcourt. The Villanova product has an excellent first step, embraces contact, and can contort his body to get shots off against more experienced defenders at the college level.
